Here I am again. I think the last time I updated was in the summer when I was going to all those concerts....which were awesome by the way.

Things are good, mostly. Hit a bit of a rough patch, but, whatever.

I'm moving at the end of March. Getting a place with Rae. Am I excited about it? Yes and no. I don't really want to live with someone else, but I know it's going to save me a TON of money, so, I'm trying to keep my head above water about it. It's a lot nicer place than where I am now, and it's in a lot better of a neighborhood so I can start walking places again, which will be AWESOME. Things are going to be crazy until then, though. I need to get a storage unit for my stuff and stay with my grandmother for a week since the new place won't be ready for about a week after I have to be out of my old one. Should make for an interesting time.

I managed to make it through the holidays un-scathed. I just really wish I was able to enjoy them like I used to. I hate having to run around and work on top of that. But, such is life, I suppose. I made the best of it, and it was good.

Work is going well for the most part. I do get really frustrated sometimes, but I know I'm in a great place with (mostly) great people. So, I just have to remember that. I got a raise already as well...more than I got in 4 years at "the company that shall not be named".

Since the summer, I've been in a bit of a concert dry-spell. It sucks. I think my dad and I are going to see Trans-siberian orchestra in April, which will be the first one in a LONG time. For Christmas, I also got my Dad and I tickets to see Jesus Christ Superstar. He really wanted to see it and it turned out to be the perfect gift :). Looking forward to that as well. I really wanted to go see Elton John but it's just way too expensive.

I don't understand why I can barely get out of bed in the morning to get to work, yet, I have no problem automatically waking up at 7:30 on my day off. It's insanity. But I guess that's good, though, since I don't want to waste my entire day off sleeping til noon. At least not all the time :)
Speaking of sleep, I don't know what the hell has been up with my dreams lately. They've just been so insane. Not bad, necessarily, but crazy! It kind of sucks because when I remember them I wake up exhausted. I do love my dream dictionary, though. It's kind of fun to look up symbols and see what my dreams (theoretically) mean.

So today was a big day...Borders announced that they officially filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy and are closing 200 stores....and yes, the Manchester store being one of them. I SERIOUSLY dodged a bullet there. I'm so grateful that I got out of there...not only because they treated me so badly, but because I would be out of a job. Not that I wouldn't have found a way to survive. Thankfully, I'm smart.

Anyways...that's it for now...until next time....

DISCLAIMER: All of the things written here are the views/opinions of ME. I'm not writing in here to make you happy. I'm writing here to make me happy. Thats why it's MY page. I don't care if we don't have the same tastes or disagree about things. We're all different, and you're welcome to your opinions. You may find many things about me that you don't like. But when it boils down to it, I don't care. If you don't like what I write, don't read it.

ABOUT ME:
I'm normal, but I'm completely different. I should have been born about 20 years before I actually was. Most of the music I listen to, the way I dress, and the way I think all go back to that time. As a result, I relate a lot better to people who are older than me. I'm completely independent and rely on nobody except myself (and God). I've been living on my own for 3 years. I didn't really go to college. My goals were just different than most peoples. I wanted to be out on my own and working rather than sitting in a classroom with no real direction. Besides, school is just not for me. I enjoy learning when I'm not forced to do it. I read constantly and am always learning new things. I hope to be involved with TV, music, or movies in someway. I would also love to write. I'm a realist. I have an excellent head on my shoulders. I have more common sense than most people. The most important thing in my life is my relationship with God. The best advice I can give to anyone is laugh.....always :)
